unfortunately, that's what mitt romney and paul ryan are promising to do. the middle class was punished by tax cuts that went to the top paid for by the middle class. that's what they're promising to do now. they were punished by wall street, putting taxpayers on the hook for bailing them out. the vice president is saying we made progress. we're on a path to rebuild an economy with the middle class at its core. we know how to do it. we can do it again. the last thing we should do is go back to the same policies that crashed the economy and punished the middle class in the first place. >> hopelessness because of poverty. sean hannity said these are controversial thing that is the media never reported on. of course, we covered that and britt hume did, too. they didn't have any, quote, involvement in disseminating that 2007 video, very old story coming back. who do you think is responsible for that? >> i think allies to mitt romney are responsible and the romney campaign should stand up and do the same -- the right thing and say it was the wrong thing to do. m
